'Back to the Future' 30th Anniversary re-release will get a live orchestra treatment
Back to the Future will return to cinemas to celebrate its 30th birthday, but there will be a slight different to your viewing pleasure.
To celebrate this milestone, a live orchestra will score the entire movie during its showing. The original Alan Silvestri score has been edited out, so musicians in major concert halls and performance venues can play in synch with the on-screen action.
The presentation comes courtesy of IMG Artists and the Gorfaine/Schwartz Agency, which have previously given the live orchestra treatment to such films as West Side Story, Star Trek and Home Alone. The world premiere will be given by the 21st Century Orchestra in Lucerne, Switzerland, in late May and other venues are expected to book the film, a spokesman for the Gorfaine/Schwartz Agency said. It's worth noting, Silvestri is preparing 15 minutes of new score exclusively for these special presentations.
